5 MUST HAVE BMW 3-Series Mods/Coding (BimmerCode)

Veepeak OBD2 Adapter: amzn.to/3IJBwq3 (US), amzn.to/3PSeFdP (UK), amzn.to/3oshdDU (DE), amzn.to/3RVh8VK (CA)
Most BMW E90/E92 (3 Series) owners love their cars for how they drive and what they can do on the road and now we can personalize our cars by coding. You can unlock hidden features that are not available in the country you live in or not available on the model of car you have. Coding a BMW is as simple as downloading the BimmerCode app and buying a simple adapter (VEEPEAK OBD2). The rest is just selecting the options you want and coding the module with the update. My favorite coding feature on this age BMW is disabled the yellow lights in the headlights and giving the car a more modern look. I also, really like getting rid of the unnecessary warnings and enabling convenient closing with the key. This way we can close the windows, sun roof and close the mirrors by just holding the lock button the remote.

Welcome and thanks for watching!

thank u so much for alllll those informations

[@SimpleCarGuy]

You're so welcome!

[@jorgerodriguez-fj1ih]

Hi there, I have been following you for the past three months since Purchasing a Z4e89. Just wanted to check with you and ask if you plan to make a video on flaws for these cars. It has been my experience with the car to have found a few flaws or should I say; unexpected faulty materials and or parts around the first 10 year mark on the car. with only 69K on the clock, I have all shocks failed, oil pan leakage, trunk lid struts, and taillights cracking on the bottom part (clear area). The rest has been a lot of elbow grease and love to make the car look halfway decent. maybe someone thinking about acquiring an e89 may find your video of great help. Thanks!

[@christopherzimmer4087]

Thanks!

Appreciate it! Thank you for watching!

How did you remove the temperature warning? That really has me annoyed

Can we activate aux with bimmercode?

[@cesarcarranza42]

Thank you, does this work with a 2009 328i?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Yes, it does

[@n3307v]

Love your videos. I followed your advice and bought the BimmerCode and Adapter for my E89 Z4. I haven't been able to get the remote to open/close the removable hardtop. Do you know if the BimmerCode can do this? Thanks.

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Hi Chris! Thanks for watching! Yes, BimmerCode can do this, I have programmed it on my car using it. What options have you changed to try and make it work? I can check my current options so you can compare.

[@n3307v]

@@SimpleCarGuy I have all of the Convenient Opening/Closing options Active. When I press and hold the remote to open or close, nothing happens.

[@stuu001]

Do you know if this will work on an X5? I have a 08 X5 and I'm wondering if all these options will work. Thanks

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Maybe not all of them, but many will. Which ones are you looking for more specifically?

[@stuu001]

@@SimpleCarGuy I just want to change the signal lights and have the windows roll up with the key fob if possible. Maybe a few little things but not much.

I cannot disable my led corner lights idk why its just not working

[@jahcoob7333]

Same.

[@indesputible]

can i unplug the adapter or does it have to stay plugged in at all times

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Just during the coding session. You are free to take it elsewhere and use it to code another car after. You are basically changing the software settings on your car.

This " DOES NOT " work on e92 335i 2007 ... i just bought veepeack adaptor and its not working fml UGHHH :((((((((

It definitely should. In fact, I have coded same generation (preLCI) car before. What hasn’t worked for you?

[@ziatm]

@SimpleCarGuy Connection error It says "The OBD adapter is not suitable for use with this car. For further information please visit our website." Don't y'all do not buy the veepeak if you have 2007 335i as it won't work ! I'll send update to what odb2 might work on my car !

[@microsoft1665]

Whats the difference between bimmerlink and bimmercode?

[@dzovis]

BimmerCode focuses on coding and customization, while BimmerLink focuses on monitoring and diagnostics. Both apps can be used independently or in conjunction with one another, depending on the user's needs and preferences. Both need buying the license separately.

[@hectorespinoza7641]

Can you answer the comment man

[@hectorespinoza7641]

Bro my battery died due to this hahaha make sure you charging your battery when doing this

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Great point, battery should be in good condition on at least on tender when making any changes or coding modules.
